The Benefits of Fluoride Treatments
Strengthens Tooth Enamel
Fluoride binds with weakened enamel, making it more resistant to the acid that’s excreted by bacteria as they consume sugar. This tooth-strengthening effect helps minimize your chances of developing cavities over time.
Reduces Tooth Sensitivity
If you experience sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods, fluoride treatments can help ease discomfort. By reinforcing enamel, fluoride creates a protective barrier that naturally decreases nerve sensitivity.
Prevents Costly Problems Later
Preventive care is one of the smartest investments in your oral health. Fluoride treatments might take just minutes but can significantly reduce the need for fillings, crowns, or other complex dental work down the road.
What to Expect From Fluoride Treatment
A Personalized Assessment
Before applying fluoride, Dr. McMaster and our team will assess your smile and discuss your dental history, habits, and any concerns you may have. This allows us to tailor the treatment to your specific risk level and oral health needs.
If you’ve experienced frequent cavities, dry mouth, or are undergoing orthodontic treatment, we may recommend a more routine application to give your teeth the extra protection they need. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, so you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Quick and Gentle Application
Once the treatment plan is set, we’ll carefully apply a concentrated fluoride solution to your teeth, either in varnish, gel, or foam form. This process is totally painless and takes only a few minutes. The fluoride starts working immediately to remineralize enamel and fight cavity-causing bacteria.
Because the treatment is applied topically, there’s no discomfort, and no downtime is needed. We use advanced materials and techniques to ensure your treatment is effective, comfortable, and perfectly safe.
Post-Treatment Advice and Ongoing Care
After your fluoride treatment, we’ll provide simple instructions, typically avoiding eating or drinking for about 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to fully absorb. We’ll also talk with you about how often these treatments should be repeated based on your needs.
Some patients benefit from fluoride every visit, while others may only need it once a year. Our team will help you integrate it with your regular hygiene routine, supporting a long-lasting healthy smile. As always, your care at Sheldon Park Dental is personal, transparent, and anxiety-free.
